Abstract
A modified carburetion and manifold arrangement to enable internal combustion engines to efficiently use fuels such as alcohols having high latent heat of vaporization. A variable venturi carburetion means (30) is combined with two manifolds-one (20) being larger for use during medium to high power operation and a second smaller manifold (24) for starting and low power operation.
